Illuminae Review Blurb:   This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded. The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit. But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she  swore  she'd never speak to again. ...

June was a very good reading month for me as I had been piling up books since a frigging YEAR to read. I admit that I'm a book hoarder but a proud one! Last year I wasn't much into reading books because of college and other things, but I used to buy books and keep em' so that I could hog them all at once (but only when I thought I was ready to get into my 'avid reader' phase again!) And that happened this JUNE, so I welcomed Summer with open arms and LOTS of books to read. (Yes this was me this summer) Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to read a lot in the month of July as it'll be a really busy month for me because I'm interning under a Criminal Lawyer (WHAAAAA??) and I also have other things to do, but hey, you never know, maybe I'll read a fair amount of books this month too? So I read around 12 books and 1 e-book this month! This wrap- up will be done in 3 parts, because 13 books and so much to say!! (PART 1/3) Per...

                        Even though I LOVE this book, it is my least favorite of the series.  NO, I do not hate this book, its just that this series just keeps getting better and better! In this book Percy is now 13, t he story starts off in New York with Percy back living with his mother, getting ready to finish school and return to Camp Half Blood. He has also befriended an unusual friend named Tyson who goes to the same school as him. Meanwhile  Percy's strange dreams tell him something's wrong at Half-blood Hill and the monster attack (also the dodge ball game!) at his school's gym proves it. While fighting the monsters, Annabeth comes to their rescue and Percy blows up his school (AGAIN), and he escapes with Tyson and Annabeth. Annabeth seems to have some bad-blood with Tyson and is seen giving him the stink eye. When they reach camp, there’s already a lot of trouble going on there and Percy and...
